Kathy Griffin and the Consequences of the Politics of Stupidity

"It turns out that taking a page from ISIS to make a point about the president is a bit too much to stomach for even many of the angriest Americans."

PJ Media  "In the days, weeks, and months following Donald Trump's election and inauguration, liberal America took its collective mind, threw it in a Vitamix, and poured it down the toilet. It has been lost and floating around in a sewer of rage ever since.
"One of the more notable Trump Derangement Syndrome meltdowns back then was publicly offered by comedian Kathy Griffin, who infamously posted a picture of her with a mock, blood-covered, severed head of President Trump.
"The stunt was so beyond the pale that even the notorious Trump-hating execs at CNN severed the network's professional relationship with her. She also lost an endorsement gig with "Squatty Potty," and the world is probably a better place for it.
"The Los Angeles Times recently ran a profile on Griffin, detailing her professional woes of the past couple of years, as well as promoting a new documentary about her travails.
"Griffin paints a pretty bleak picture of the treatment she is getting from Hollywood these days:

“I’m still totally blacklisted,” she said the other day, sitting in a red dress and taking stock of how a woman who starred on Bravo’s “My Life on the D-List” fell precipitously to the “S” list. “No agency will touch me. No network will touch me. No streaming service will touch me. Nobody. And yet, I’m an earner. I’ve made them all money, and I’ll make them money again. I have to dig myself out of this hole.”

"Although Griffin's old show said she was on the "D-List," her career has actually been a pretty good one.
"And even though she says she has been "totally blacklisted" she is booking and being paid for live gigs. Still, she was a much hotter commodity before her stunt and the professional effects are enduring:" . . .

2017: Crybully Kathy Griffin Tries to Become a Victim of Her Sick Photo Shoot
. . . "This is what the double standard of the Left looks like. Attack someone, receive some pushback (like all your upcoming jobs canceling on you) and start crying that you're the victim of a hate campaign. If I didn't know better, I would think that Griffin was a paid provocateur meant to take down the entire leftist movement. She has done more to rip the mask off the beast than anyone in the history of politics. Good job, Kathy!" . . .
